Just announcing our new Japanese art series of coffee mugs that we have launched in our Etsy store. We've found and used some amazingly beautiful Ukiyoe and Shin-Hanga artworks, each one is digitally enhanced and colour checked. We then digitally print onto white standard coffee mugs that look so good. Come and check our Etsy store for these and other designs we've produced.

Down the end of our street this morning, water is super clean at the moment, plus the resident fish seem to be increasing in size and number.
Not in Japan btw this is Sunshine Coast, Australia no traveling for us for some time to come unfortunately.

Shibuya Scramble Crossing.
Yes, this is the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world and is definitely something that you need to see when you visit Tokyo.
Continuing our series of posts recommending locations and day trips in Japan we feature the Shibuya crossing. Super famous, super busy and always worth visit. This crazy crossing is located just outside the Shibuya train station (JR LIne) and is also an extremely popular meeting point at the Hachiko statue which is right next to the crossing area.
So whether you are into people watching or just amazed by the sheer size of Tokyo's busiest neighbourhood, put the Shibuya scramble crossing onto your list of Tokyo sights to check out.
If you need a breather you can have a coffee at the Starbucks cafe which faces the crossing (it is always a challenge getting a seat but makes for a great view if you are successful).
Shibuya is an interesting suburb of Tokyo, best know for it's cutting edge young fashion but also some great low cost dining options (we'll share some suggestions in an upcoming blog post).
Tokyo is struggling right at the moment with Covid19, hopefully things improve soon and we can once again visit but also so that the locals can get back to their normal crowded but organised way of life.

Sakura is cherry blossom season.
The official dates change each year due to climate but roughly starts end of March and goes for 2 to 3 weeks.
Starting in the south first end ending in the north, means you can follow the cherry blossoms across the country.
While this year is once again out for foreign tourists remember that if you want to experience the beauty of Sakura then plan your trip around early April and you’re bound to see lots of amazing blooms.
